Hope all made it home safe!!! Worst conditions I've ever driven the Z in eek Lunchtime pulled pork burrito from the Stratford-upon-Avon street market was lush mind 👌 THANK YOU EVERYONE for coming!!!

Love Philips led 501's I see now. Mate, always take the wheel off lol well done pal, juggling car repairs a d daddies duties like an old hand. See you all tomorrow and remember the clocks go BACK tonight 👍

The meet for tomorrow is definitely going ahead for those who want to venture out. Thankfully the roads haven't been salted yet. Will gather at the pre meet and depending on the weather tomorrow choose Evesham or Stratford-upon-Avon 👍

Yeah absolutely no pressure to come, it's a fair distance also. Every day this week the weather has been better than forecast here in the Midlands at least, however the option above provides a plan B. It's like I work for government haha

Did you know my middle name was Downpour 😂 As per usual the weather is looking absolutely shocking for tomorrow's meet. What do we reckon to going to Bridgeway Multi Storey in Stratford-upon-Avon instead? It's 24hrs and at the time we're going will be quite so can all park together. It's £3.50 for 3hrs

Pre meet convoy details for anyone passing this way. Hopwood Services M42 8:45am 👍

Nice one pal, I'd have opt'd for an outdoor shower also. It's literally suffering in your mind, I've had hundreds of cold showers and been fine. It's just that initially default setting of omg this is cold, then you're good. Last Winter I quickly rigged up an outdoor shower. It's was -2° outside maybe a tad colder and the water temp felt a touch warmer than ambient which was the strangest experience. But in the sun the charge you felt after. Anyone remember this dude 😄

I bought into the WHM intially because of him, he can do what no one else can do 20+ world records for extreme challenges and training SAS soldiers is no joke in terms of credentials. Yes I'm a fan 🖐️

Really nice wheels which look amazing on a Z33 👍

5 days to go Might spook the Z out for the morning 🕷️

I use to have a mid back ache since working from home, possibly something to do with an office chair on hardwood flooring or my early positioning using a laptop. But the combination of the cold showers and the mindful breathing exercises meant I no longer suffer. The breathing I've found resets my posture which of course is only a good thing. The brother in law who works for highways had a shoulder problem whereby the consultant had arranged for an operation. He's been doing the cold showers and breath work, more so the breathing from what I gather and some weeks later at a pre op appointment the consultant goes he no longer needs the op. That was start of the year or Spring time and he's been fine since. The benefits of a short term induced stresser are worth looking into, it's the long term drawn out stresses that causes health concerns. For the first few months my skin would be bright red, which can be a skin of reduced blood flow. However now no sign at all, so even visually I can see change in my physiology. What doesn't work..... beating myself up about missing days or going a spell without a cold plunge. Other than that, it's literally all gains for zero outlay. Same, even now I still need to give myself a prep talk to step forward into the cold. Of course the cold comes out at a pressure hot can only dream off. With the ground temp falling you can tell majorly as during the summer it was so refreshing and now its alot colder.

Nice one with getting back into the cold showers, I bet you found going in the sea easier than ever before. I did as my body was so use to that shock of cold and knows we got this. I find a cold shower knocks out any aches from the night sleep and gives me that can do attitude, a little win every day routinely telling your body you are the captain of your ship 💪 plus it's good for the vascular system as it simulates all the tiny blood vessels. I do the breathing after my cold shower, 2 or 3 rounds, getting back up to 4 rounds and to do 3mins without a breath still blows my mind. It's been proven to increase white blood cells which fights infection, lowers inflammation all while kick starting the immune system naturally. I love it as I incorporate prayer at the same time while my mind is clear and not racing about.

Yeah I've found I can miss a snack. As having breakfast at a regular time previous, come 10am I'd always need toast or something to get through to lunch or at least I thought I did but breakfast at 10 instead meant I'm missing toast and jam. I now get to lunch and find I'm not massively hungry, so only a light lunch needed dinner at a regular time then a little something around 8pm and throughout the day I'm not Marvin like use to be. I'll stick at it as the benefits aren't purely in weight loss from what I gather. Unreal mate and being a cold junkie I had to get in. Bit unnerving to imagine what if anything could be lurking mind eek

Well done pal, as it should be 👍

Wee bit of an update. 10 months into cold showers and mindful breathing exercises, also for the last 4 weeks I've incorporated intermittent fasting. It's my last health hobby I'm sure...... 😆 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/2gh3kMWRjXZz7g34Sj26SMg/change-when-you-eat-not-what-you-eat The research The idea that just changing when – and not what you eat – first began with experiments on mice and it’s only in the last couple of years that there have been a growing number of human clinical trials. So far, the results have been astonishing. Dr Emily Manoogian who heads the clinical trials at the Salk Institute in California says they have observed weight loss across the board. One study found an average weight loss of 3.3kg over 3 months, alongside significant improvements in markers of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Initially I wanted to give this a try first of all to see if I could do it, then to loose a bit of weight. Working from home is both good and bad however with the fridge is only a few room away one can get carried away. Being able to choose when I have breakfast instead of having to eat prior to leaving for work, meant this was a no brainer. I as always try to eat no later than 8pm and now stretch out till 10am the next day for breakfast, effectively doing an intermittent fast giving my body a chance to burn fat instead of keeping it topped up. The wife was looking into this and I thought I'd give it a look see, then later saw the BBC article. Meant to also help with the vascular system, which is a bonus as CV19 is being thought of now as a vascular disease whereas initially was pinned as a respiratory one. So back to July and the family had a week away in North Wales. Last year we came across an amazing lake half way up a mountain and thought that be lovely for a swim. Always in the cards for a dip and with the cold training, we had no excuses. It's was amazing!! Pool water has chlorine, the sea has salt this was like swimming in Evian. So light and fresh however not as cold as I thought it would be. Nowt to do with WHM but wanted to share a sunset pic from the top of a mountain. Just me and our eldest daughter made the trip up one evening and it was one of the best moments of my life. Very fortunate 🙌

Very nice pictures, will you be doing any underbody aero?

Still be fab to see how different engines and mods compare on the same day, same dyno 🤙

Good for the winter https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FC42HAA/

If Dan you meant the car was in the care of the garage, then I apologise as I read it that you said the car wasn't - which I wanted to clear up, nothing more.

What am I wrong about? I do have a weird feeling when reading incorrect statements, the need to correct understanding of the facts seems a duty. It's my problem, but if the garage did assess the vehicle then they had the keys, therefore it's classed as in their care.

Ello n welkom All the best for the wkend

Yes it was, as the garage had assessed it.

I'll take it for you 🙂
